Codex entry[]
Otto III of Bergau was a Czech nobleman hailing from a family in Thuringia and Saxony. He was the Prague Burgrave between 1388 and 1393, a member of the League of Lords (Pánská jednota) from 1394, and in 1396 he became a member of the Royal Council of Wenceslas IV, although he later turned against him. He was the son of Albert of Bergau, who was appointed Subchamberlain by Sigismund. He owned estates in Biela (Bílina) and Seeberg (Žeberk), as well as other properties, including a fortress on the river Cidlina and Trosky Castle. After Wenceslas IV regained the throne, Otto was punished and removed from office. His estates were inherited by two sons: John and Otto IV.
